Zoom effect

When you see your friends/family/classmates/partner online through Zoom or another video call platform frequently, but still feel as though you miss them dearly because you haven't been in person with them. They also probably live across town it down the street.

I really miss my best friend, but I see her in our online class everyday. I must be experiencing the Zoom effect.

Panopticon Effect

Habits and behavior reflexively caused by the belief that one is being observed or when their actions will become known to another person.

If a stranger leaves a credit card in the room with you, you COULD write down all of its numbers and buy something with it, but you won't. Maybe because someone who would take offense to it is in the same room. Or there is a security camera in the room and someone on the other side will see it. Or the person who owns the card will notice less money in their account and find the address the package was sent to. You probably don't even know the specific reason beyond a strange tingling in the back of your neck warning you of the dangers of doing it. No matter the specific reason, they all fall under the Panopticon Effect.
